Trail Overview
The trail begins in the valley at W3 and ascends a steep hill featuring loose gravel and scattered rock. As the trail progresses north, it transitions to a more stable clay and dirt base while following the ridge line, offering a smoother and more consistent ride. W9 allows a connection to W8 and merges with W24.

Difficulty
Due to its position along the ridge, W9 tends to stay drier than lower-lying trails after rain. The southern hill climb may become more challenging in wet conditions due to loose surfaces. Beginner to intermediate, and it is very manageable with light to moderate terrain and a steeper grade section.
